As I Lay Dying members officially announce new band

The instrumental portion of As I Lay Dying is officially heading out on its own. Jordan Mancino, Nick Hipa, Phil Sgrosso, and Josh Gilbert have recruited Oh, Sleeper vocalist Shane Blay to form Wovenwar.

The new group plans to have their first single "All Rise" out on April 21st, with a debut album expected to follow this summer.

The former As I Lay Dying members started teasing new music a few weeks ago, shortly after frontman Tim Lambesis pleaded guilty to murder-for-hire charges. The singer is currently free on $2 million bond, with his formal sentencing scheduled to take place on May 2nd.
